Two More Bodies Found at Annapolis, Maryland, Mansion Fire

Two more bodies were recovered Thursday from the massive fire at an Annapolis, Maryland, mansion, where two more suspected fatalities are still unaccounted for, among the total of six people -- two grandparents and four of their grandchildren -- who are believed to have perished, authorities said.

Relatives of those feared to have been inside the home thanked their well-wishers earlier Thursday, but asked people to respect their privacy, noting that "our loss demands time and quiet reflection."

The six family members were believed to have been inside the mansion Monday morning when the fire broke out, according to relatives and neighbors.

"We wish to express our gratitude and appreciation for the love and support being shared with us during this tragic event," the families said in the statement. "We are blessed that so many family, friends, and neighbors have come together for us in our time of need."

It added, "Our love for our family is boundless. Our loss demands time and quiet reflection to process these feelings. We ask that you respect our need for privacy.
